FREE Printable Classroom Calendar Kits (Numbers, Days, Months + Holiday Themes)

Build your own classroom calendar with these free printable classroom calendar kits. Every kit includes calendar numbers, days of the week, months of the year, weather cards, and special event labels, all matching, so your calendar area actually looks pulled together instead of like five different printables taped next to each other. (Ask me how I know.)

Choose from 4 color themes (rainbow, pastel, muted, black and white) or 11 seasonal and holiday themes below. If you just need one piece on its own, like a fresh set of calendar numbers, days of the week, or months of the year, those are free standalone downloads too. And if you’re building out a full math center, these calendar numbers pair nicely with a set of number flashcards for extra counting practice.

Every kit includes the same core pieces, so once you’ve set up your calendar area, updating it each month (or swapping in a new theme for a holiday) takes about five minutes. Here’s what’s inside every download:

• Calendar numbers: 75+ number cards (1-31, plus blank cards and long month header cards) so you can build a full 5-6 row grid.
• Special event cards: 24 cards for things like Field Trip, No School, Early Dismissal, and Half-Day.
• Days of the week: 14 cards, including yesterday/today/tomorrow labels for your daily routine.
• Months of the year: 24 month cards in two sizes, for a monthly header or a pocket chart.
• Weather cards: 9 cards for tracking daily weather during circle time.
• Season wheel and arrow: one spinner set to mark the current season.

File format is PDF, sized for 8.5 x 11 US Letter paper. Print, laminate if you want them to last, and you’re set for the year.

3 Ways to Hang Your Calendar

However you’re setting up your calendar area, these printables work. Here’s a quick comparison of the three most common setups, then step-by-step instructions for each below.

Feature	DIY Wall Calendar	Pocket Chart Calendar	Flip Calendar
Cost	Free	$10	$15
Best For	Large classroom displays and bulletin boards	Morning meetings and calendar jobs	Small spaces and centers
Supplies Needed	Painter’s tape or sticky tack	Pocket chart	Magnetic dowel and binder rings

Option 1: DIY Wall Calendar

Mount your printable calendar on a whiteboard or wall using tape, sticky tack, or Velcro dots. This is the most flexible option if you like to change your layout with the seasons.

• Choose your theme and print the full calendar kit.
• Trim and laminate your cards for long-term use.
• Use Velcro dots, tape, or magnets to attach each piece to your board.
• Arrange days of the week across the top, calendar numbers in a grid below, and your month card above.
• Store extra pieces, like special day cards or alternate months, in a labeled envelope.

Option 2: Pocket Chart Calendar

Use our calendar cards in a standard classroom pocket chart. This is the setup I use for morning meetings and calendar helper jobs, since kids can grab and place the cards themselves.

These inserts are sized to fit standard 3″ x 3″ calendar chart pockets. The number cards are 2.5″ x 2.5″, month cards are 10″ x 2.5″, and year cards are 6″ x 2.5″. Printing at 90% scale gets you 2.25″ squares if your pocket chart runs smaller.

• Choose your theme and print the full calendar kit.
• Cut each piece to size using a paper cutter or scissors.
• Laminate if you want to reuse the set year after year.
• Arrange days of the week across the top, calendar numbers in a 5-6 row grid, month card above, and weather or special day labels to the side.

Option 3: Flip Calendar with Binder Rings

Short on wall space, or want something a small group can flip through at a center? A flip calendar is a compact, interactive option where each category (day, date, month) flips individually on its own ring.

• Choose your theme and print the full calendar kit.
• Trim each card to a uniform size.
• Hole punch the top of each card.
• Group by category (days, numbers, months, weather, seasons, special days) and hang each group on its own binder ring or clothespin.
• Hang from a command strip above your whiteboard, a clothesline across a bulletin board, or a trifold board for portability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these calendar kits really free?

Yes. Every theme on this page is a free download for classroom or personal use.

Can I mix pieces from different themes?

Yep. A lot of teachers keep a neutral base set (like the muted or black and white kit) up year-round, then swap in just the holiday number cards or month header for a quick seasonal refresh.

What size pocket chart do these fit?

These are sized for a standard 3″ x 3″ calendar pocket chart. If yours runs smaller, print at 90% scale to shrink the number cards down to about 2.25″ square.

Do I need a pocket chart to use these?

Not at all. See the 3 setup options above. Wall and flip calendar setups don’t require any special equipment beyond tape, Velcro, or binder rings.

Can I print these in black and white?

Yes. The Black and White Calendar Kit is designed for exactly that, but any theme will print fine in grayscale if you’re just out of colored ink.

Will you add more holiday themes?

This page will keep growing. If there’s a theme you don’t see yet, let me know in the comments.
